1 Corinthians 1:19 in Context — 1 Corinthians 1
17 Porque no me envió Cristo á bautizar, sino á predicar el evangelio: no en sabiduría de palabras, porque no sea hecha vana la cruz de Cristo.
18 Porque la palabra de la cruz es locura á los que se pierden; mas á los que se salvan, [es á saber], á nosotros, es potencia de Dios.
19 Porque está escrito: Destruiré la sabiduría de los sabios, y desecharé la inteligencia de los entendidos.
20 ¿Qué es del sabio? ¿qué del escriba? ¿qué del escudriñador de este siglo? ¿no ha enloquecido Dios la sabiduría del mundo?
21 Porque por no haber el mundo conocido en la sabiduría de Dios á Dios por sabiduría, agradó á Dios salvar á los creyentes por la locura de la predicación.
